NO DEBATE HERE. Plenty of debate has swirled around Auburn quarterback Cam Newton who was allegedly for sale when he transferred.However, yesterday there was no debate who was left standing after Newton led the Tigers to a comeback victory against rival Alabama.Auburn trailed 24-0 in the second quarter before Newton scored four touchdowns – three throwing and one running to win the game and advance back to the top of the Heisman Trophy leader board.Here, Newton #2 of the Auburn Tigers celebrates the win at Bryant-Denny Stadium on November 26, 2010 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.(Photo by Kevin C.

KICKER ENDS BCS DEBATE. Well, Ohio State’s president doesn’t have the Broncos to kick around anymore in the “BCS/non-BCS/who is deserving who isn’t” debate.Last night, previously undefeated #3 Boise State lost to #19 Nevada in overtime squandering a 17 point first half lead.Here, Boise State kicker Kyle Brotzman reacts after missing a 29 yard field goal attempt during overtime. The normally reliable, Brotzman also missed the 26-yard game winner with 2 seconds left in regulation.The BCS boys can now breathe a sigh of relief noting that all will be well if #1 Auburn and #2 Oregon win out.

NOT AMUSED.This Alabama fan wasn’t amused with the rumors that Cam Newton’s father was willing to have him transfer to any program that paid $200,000.Can’t imagine she felt any differently after the game. (Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)

DID HE GET DRESSED IN THE DARK?Rafael Nadal of Spain wearing a really awful combo of clothes, accessories, socks and shoes, returns the ball during his men's singles match against Tomas Berdych of Czech Republic during the ATP World Tour Finals at O2 Arena on November 26, 2010 in London, England. Berdych was horribly distracted by the brut ugliness of Nadal’s ensemble. (Photo by Julian Finney/Getty Images)

TEXAS FACIAL. Football in the Lone Star state ain’t quite up to snuff this year.The Longhorns lost at home to rival Texas A&M yesterday handing the boys from Austin their first losing season since 1997. Up the road in Dallas, the 3-8 Cowboys fumbled away a come-from-behind victory against the Saints.All at once now:AWWWWW, what a cryin’ shame!Here, Running back Cyrus Gray #32 of Texas A&M stiff arms Texas defensive end Sam Acho #81 during the second half at Darrell K.

TAH DAMN GOOD CAUSE OF THE MONTH

NORTHERN HAITI HOPE FOUNDATION: After our recent trip to Haiti, we vowed to do more to help. Clean water is a critical issue for all Haitians. It's particularly problematic for those in rural areas. For $2,000 to $5,000 we can build a new well in a rural village as part of a program facilitated by the St. Barthelemy School and the Warrenton, VA Rotary.
